Burnham Beeches is a local Beech wood, a famous wood actually, they filmed ‘Robinhood – Prince of thievs there! We saw no men in green tights but there were plenty of dog walkers who seemed quite ammused to see someone walking around in their wedding dress. It wasn’t exactly the warmest day of the year either but the sun had come out and we thought we’d got lucky with the weather. It lasted about 15mins and then the heavens opened and we legged it back to the car. So this is the shortest Rock-the-Dress session ever!!!
Dorotta got married to Greg in Poland in 2007 but bought her dress back with her to England because she couldn’t just leave it behind. When she went to chose her dress, Greg went with her, he was the only one she trusted to be 100% honest with her. We decided to take a set of images that leaned more towards fashion rather than relaxed portraits similar to what she had taken on her wedding day.
Dorotta wanted some dramatic jewellery to go with the dress on the day, something slightly less’ wedding’, slightly more ‘catwalk’. The necklace she is wearing I actually made from a broken lampshade I was given. The long strands of beads in delicate greens, golds and browns complimented the backdrop we had chosen perfectly.
Please feel free to leave a comment below, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
